Taos Pueblo: World Heritage Site

Taos Pueblo: World Heritage Site

Taos
Pueblo is a 1000-year-old community belonging to a Native American tribe of
Pueblo people. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in
the United States. Electricity and running water are not available in the
pueblo. A small stream, Red Willow Creek, flows through the pueblo. The stream
comes from Blue Lake on the pueblo’s protected mountainous area. The pueblo is near
the city of Taos, New Mexico.

The
pueblo people were fearless and persistently fought for their right to maintain
their culture and land. They successfully revolted against the Spaniards. They
fought for over six decades in order for the U.S. Congress to return Blue Lake
and land adjacent to the pueblo.

The
pueblo is a World Heritage Site and a National Historic Site. It is an amazing
community to visit.

WELCOME to the Fountain Gate portal for those who thirst for the fountain of life that only Jesus Christ offers. The fountain gate in the wall of Jerusalem controlled access to the only source of fresh water. Today, Fountain Gate is a blog declaring the gospel of the kingdom of God for the New Jerusalem – the body of Christ.
